This spring popped up in our yard a few days ago. The water is free-flowing, bubbling up sand and bits of lignite coal as it goes. Thankfully no buildings or critical infrastructure is nearby, but the water is flowing into a barn, and needs to be diverted around the barn and to the creek. This is near Hannover, ND. Video was taken June 5, 2011. (BTW - the crowing you hear early in the video is a peacock.)

Spring (hydrology)

A spring is any natural situation where water flows from an aquifer to the earth's surface. It is a component of the hydrosphere.

Formation

A spring may be the result of karst topography where surface water has infiltrated the Earth's surface (recharge area), becoming part of the area groundwater. The groundwater then travels through a network of cracks and fissure—openings ranging from intergranular spaces to large caves. The water eventually emerges from below the surface, in the form of a karst spring.

The forcing of the spring to the surface can be the result of a confined aquifer in which the recharge area of the spring water table rests at a higher elevation than that of the outlet. Spring water forced to the surface by elevated sources are artesian wells. This is possible even if the outlet is in the form of a 300-foot-deep (91m) cave. In this case the cave is used like a hose by the higher elevated recharge area of groundwater to exit through the lower elevation opening.

History

Hydrology has been a subject of investigation and engineering for millennia. For example, about 4000 BC the Nile was dammed to improve agricultural productivity of previously barren lands. Mesopotamian towns were protected from flooding with high earthen walls. Aqueducts were built by the Greeks and Ancient Romans, while the history of China shows they built irrigation and flood control works. The ancient Sinhalese used hydrology to build complex irrigation works in Sri Lanka, also known for invention of the Valve Pit which allowed construction of large reservoirs, anicuts and canals which still function.

Water cycle

The water cycle, also known as the hydrological cycle or the H2O cycle, describes the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth. The mass of water on Earth remains fairly constant over time but the partitioning of the water into the major reservoirs of ice, fresh water, saline water and atmospheric water is variable depending on a wide range of climatic variables. The water moves from one reservoir to another, such as from river to ocean, or from the ocean to the atmosphere, by the physical processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, runoff, and subsurface flow. In doing so, the water goes through different phases: liquid, solid (ice), and gas (vapor).

The water cycle involves the exchange of energy, which leads to temperature changes. For instance, when water evaporates, it takes up energy from its surroundings and cools the environment. When it condenses, it releases energy and warms the environment. These heat exchanges influence climate.

Snow Hydrology at the Scale of Mountain Ranges

Worldwide, a billion people—including those in western North America—depend on winter snowfall and subsequent spring melt for their water. In the mountains themselves, the distribution and duration of snow drive ecological processes. So how do we measure the topographic and temporal variability of snow (its water equivalent) and subsequent melt, at scales of whole mountain ranges? Direct measurements with satellites currently flying or available in the next couple of decades are not feasible. Instead, we track the seasonal progression of snow cover and its albedo with remote sensing, and we model melt rates by combining that information with assimilated climate data. When the snow disappears, we can run the model backwards to estimate how much snow existed at peak accumulation, everywhere....

Spring (hydrology) - Video Learning - WizScience.com

A "spring "is any natural situation where water flows from an aquifer to the earth's surface. It is a component of the hydrosphere.
A spring may be the result of karst topography where surface water has infiltrated the Earth's surface , becoming part of the area groundwater. The groundwater then travels through a network of cracks and fissure—openings ranging from intergranular spaces to large caves. The water eventually emerges from below the surface, in the form of a karst spring.
The forcing of the spring to the surface can be the result of a confined aquifer in which the recharge area of the spring water table rests at a higher elevation than that of the outlet. Spring water forced to the surface by elevated sources are artesian wells. This is possible even if the outlet is in the form of a 300 ft cave. In this case the cave is used like a hose by the higher elevated recharge area of groundwater to exit through the lower elevation opening.
Non-artesian springs may simply flow from a higher elevation through the earth to a lower elevation and exit in the form of a spring, using the ground like a drainage pipe.
Still other springs are the result of pressure from an underground source in the earth, in the form of volcanic activity. The result can be water at elevated temperature such as a hot spring.
The action of the groundwater continually dissolves permeable bedrock such as limestone and dolomite, creating vast cave systems.
Spring discharge, or "resurgence", is determined by the spring's recharge basin. Factors that affect the recharge include the size of the area in which groundwater is captured, the amount of precipitation, the size of capture points, and the size of the spring outlet. Water may leak into the underground system from many sources including permeable earth, sinkholes, and losing streams. In some cases entire creeks seemingly disappear as the water sinks into the ground via the stream bed. Grand Gulf State Park in Missouri is an example of an entire creek vanishing into the groundwater system. The water emerges 9 mi away, forming some of the discharge of Mammoth Spring in Arkansas. Human activity may also affect a spring's discharge--withdrawal of groundwater reduces the water pressure in an aquifer, decreasing the volume of flow.

Water flowing from the ground

This spring popped up in our yard a few days ago. The water is free-flowing, bubbling up sand and bits of lignite coal as it goes. Thankfully no buildings or critical infrastructure is nearby, but the water is flowing into a barn, and needs to be diverted around the barn and to the creek. This is near Hannover, ND. Video was taken June 5, 2011. (BTW - the crowing you hear early in the video is a peacock.)

Spring (hydrology)

A spring is any natural situation where water flows from an aquifer to the earth's surface. It is a component of the hydrosphere.

Formation

A spring may be the result of karst topography where surface water has infiltrated the Earth's surface (recharge area), becoming part of the area groundwater. The groundwater then travels through a network of cracks and fissure—openings ranging from intergranular spaces to large caves. The water eventually emerges from below the surface, in the form of a karst spring.

The forcing of the spring to the surface can be the result of a confined aquifer in which the recharge area of the spring water table rests at a higher elevation than that of the outlet. Spring water forced to the surface by elevated sources are artesian wells. This is possible even if the outlet is in the form of a 300-foot-deep (91m) cave. In this case the cave is used like a hose by the higher elevated recharge area of groundwater to exit through the lower elevation opening.

Water in the Ground

This podcast discusses several aspects of ground water flow in terms of recharge and discharge zones. Wells, artesian formations, natural springs, hot springs, geysers, and fumaroles are some of the topics covered.
